Just keeping it simple--I don't teach until tomorrow so a cozy sweater, scarf, and boots were an easy choice for a day of making last minute revisions to my syllabus and prepping my first few lessons (on Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, which I'm very excited to teach). As much as I love piling on the layers in winter, sometimes it's easier to just throw on a few simple pieces. I was reminded of this reading the other emily, who dresses in such sophisticated and understated ways (of course, this outfit of hers reminded me to break out this sweater again).

Loved the scarf color palette on it gives the rest of simple outfit a little life... wish I had a closer look to the anthropologie earrings but I'm pretty sure they are very unique! ... ps- big fan of Dorian Gray too!

You are totally looking all kinds of cool boho-chic today! When I was a kid we had a cat named Dorian Gray (who was gray) and I never thought anything of it till I read the book in high school... my mom is a fellow nerd!

Cute outfit! The soft drape of the sweater is perfect for a cozy work day.

The picture of Dorian Grey would be such a fun book to teach - it's one of my all time favorites. I teach Greek and Roman literature, but sometimes would love to be able to pull in some newer classics!
